How to Make Sure Your Nest Egg Lasts the Rest of Your Life (and Then Some…)
Not too many years ago, most people did not need retirement plans or help with retirement planning. Retirement lasted only five years on average. Not everyone retired. Those that did retire generally had adequate income from employer pensions and medical expense coverage plus Social Security and Medicare.
All that changed. Life expectancies increased, dramatically increasing the length of retirement to 20 years or more. Employers reduced or eliminated pensions. Employees save and invest for retirement on their own through 401(k) plans and other accounts. Employer-paid retiree medical coverage is greatly reduced, and Medicare raises premiums. Americans more and more are on their own for retirement and must plan for much longer retirements.
To complicate things, retirement finances have changed and are changing rapidly. Bull markets rapidly turn into bear markets which become financial crises. Investment options change all the time. Taxes, long-term care, medical expense coverage, annuities, life insurance, estate planning, and other aspects of your retirement finances rapidly have innovations and turmoil.
Now there is no shortage of people seeking to be the retirement advisors for tens of millions of Baby Boomers: brokers, financial planners, accountants, insurance agents, mutual fund companies, and more. Too often these advisers have their own agendas or are so busy marketing and managing their businesses that they do not keep up with the latest news and trends. Cookie cutter approaches and rules-of-thumb dominate too much financial advice. Personal needs, situations, and desires can take a back seat or be pushed out of the vehicle.
But if you attempt to tackle retirement planning on your own, you can easily become confused and overwhelmed by the mountain of advice available to you. Type the search term “retirement planning” into Google and it returns about 13.5 million hits. Type in “IRA” and it returns almost 50 million hits! And most of these hits are for websites that simply want to sell you a particular product, or contain information that’s out of date.
